4 days later
Its been four days and Jamie and I Haven't been the same since. I told Jamie that I needed to be on my own for a while and not have any distractions. Jared would be coming in a few days and I was exited to see him, but what would I tell him? Jared probably would hate me , but if he really loved me he would understand because this baby is a part of him to.
It was 9:00 in the morning when I woke up feeling the urge to throw up again. I hated the symptoms of pregnancy. They were making everything less fun around me.
When I finished throwing up, I looked at myself in the mirror that was on the wall. It was a big rectangle mirror that was above the 2 sinks. I slowly lifted my dress knight gown that was brown with little flowers at the bottom. Looking paste my underwear I looked at my belly. I turned sideways to look closer at it. There was no bump yet but I knew there would be soon. I was probably about 5 weeks along I didn't know for sure, but I was going back to Ms. Scott's office tomorrow. She agreed to keep this a secret from the rest of the safe. I got to know the safe pretty well, there was a lot of boys and girls, Kids too. I already had about 11 girl- friends and knew about 8 boys. They were all so nice to me and my brother. There was this one girl who is like my really good friend. Her name is Tiff Hurdle. She is kinda like my best friend I guess you can say. I havent had one in a long time, not until the invasion.
Going back to bed I herd a knock on the door and stopped to answer.
"Who is it?" I said
"Tiff" She answered
"Come in" I opened the door for her. She came in with a clip brown clipboard on one hand and a pen in the other she was already dressed in a pink pencil skirt and white strapless top that had a big brown belt under her breasts. I had to admit she was really beautiful. Her skin was perfect with a tan and she was kind of tall to be 17 and she was really skinny. Like a toothpick. She had natural Strawberry Blonde hair and Blue with Green in her eyes. I wish I looked like her.
"So I came up here to tell you about the stock coming in today. I was wondering if you wanted to help me?" And another thing about Tiff is that she is always energetic.
"I was actually feeling really sick"
"Do you need me to stay here with you?" I sat back on the bed and she sat straight across from me. She placed her pen and clipboard down and patted her hand on be leg.
"No, no…..i'm… fine just had something bad to eat"
"Hunny, nothing here makes you throw up, why are you really throwing up?" She probably already guessed why.
"Then I don't know why" I lied.
"Okay , well I better get back to the stock there waiting for me to count"
"Okay, have fun"
"I wont" She smiled. She got up with the clipboard and pen. When she was reaching for them I noticed something about her. Her shirtless shirt tucked in her pink pencil skirt lifted up a little. I saw red and blue marks that almost looked like scars. Like Stretch marks?
"What happened there?" I pointed to her perfect tanned skin.
"Nothing just a scar" I could definitely see that she was hiding something from me. Because she just didn't have one she had like 3 all on the same side. Maybe she had more in the middle or the other side. She got up quickly from the bed. Grabbing her clipboard and pen she didn't even say goodbye before she left and just headed out the door. She didn't even tuck in her shirt, she was probably doing it outside her door.
I didn't know what to do today. I didn't want to talk to Jamie , or leave my bedroom but I defiantly wanted to do something. I got up from my bed and went to my closet. I pulled out black torn jeans with a purple long sleeve. I put on my rain boots and decided to go outside.
I went to the lobby and asked Xavier if there was a garden somewhere (Besides the one that was in Paradis. He led me into the elevator without even saying if there was one. I could feel us going up and about 30 seconds later the elevator door opened. I didn't even have to get out to know that I was in love. We were at the top of the Paradis
Building. I never even new that they had this. When I went to turn around , the elevator doors were shut. He probably knew that I wanted to be alone. This Garden was very different from the other. It had butterflies and Dragon fly's and looked like a real nature rather then a fake one to hide the elevator. When I walked around for about 5 minutes just looking at the beauty I found a bench that was surrounded by really green bushes.
I sat down on the bench and just sat there for a minute thinking about my pregnancy and what I would do. Then I took something out of my back pocket. The photo , I told Jamie to let me hold on to it so that he doesn't get any more thoughts.
I was really curious on what this meant. We couldn't have a baby sister? Or dad would never keep this from us? But the story Jamie told me about the mother dyeing at giving birth got me to think what happened to our mom? Dad never talked about why she wasn't with us. He didn't say if she was dead or alive. But I assumed dead. But could birth be the cause of it?
"How's my beautiful Mel doing?" I heard a voice
Quickly I slid the photo into my back pocket again and turned to see the one any only Jared.
